What is next:
2014 No hard plans yet other than completing SWAAG's work at Hagg Farm 103. It is likely that SWAAG will want to excavate at the Grinton defended settlement ahead of this site.
2013 SWAAG was excavating Hagg Farm site 103 the other side of Swaledale (4 excavations).
2012 Activities at Cogden Hall are:
The revised report can now be downloaded.
Monday 25-Tuesday 26 June: interim geophysics images are below:
Maps to be drawn.
What has been done:
06/12/11 Two 100mx100m squares and a 100mx50m rectangle 'geophysed' using Bartington Fluxgate Magnetic Field Gradiometers
08/10/11: Old OS map images added.
Survey Days 1 and 2: On 22/9/11 and 06/10/11 SWAAG members completed an initial GPS survey of the major earthworks. See Image. This data will be used in future map generation.
October 2010: SWAAG had a GPS training day when Trevor Pearson from the Yorkshire CBA demonstrated their professional grade surveying equipment. We were also able to compare SWAAG's methodology using 'high end' Garmin hand held units (GPSmap 60CSx). This exercise confirmed the suitability of this grade of GPS to map earthworks down to approximately 4 metres. All SWAAG maps are drawn using this technique. Details are available on this page.
